This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Extensions to Rhapsody File Format
----------------------------------
In order to save the additional parameters can be controlled by
by ScoreDraw, the Rhapsody file format has been extended to include
a second formatting data slot. This immediately follows the
normal Rhapsody formatting data slot that sits between the header
and the beginning of the music data slots. The structure of the
extended formatting data slot is as follows:
[1] &FF
[1] slot_length
[1] 0
[1] 2 (code for ScoreDraw formatting data)
[2] checksum of formatting slot 1, MOD &10000
[1] formatting scale (20% to 200%, 100 means 100%)
[2] page height * 10 (low byte, high byte)
[2] page_width * 10 (low byte, high byte)
[1] top margin tenths (added to figure in first slot)
[1] bottom margin tenths
[1] left margin tenths
[1] right margin tenths
[1] bar and page numbering
bit 0 0 = no bar numbers 1 = bar numbers
bit 1 0 = no page numbers 1 = page numbers
bit 2 0 = hide score titles 1 = show score titles
bits 3-4 0 = show stave names 1 = show stave names on all staves 2 = hide stave names
bits 5-7 page number position (top/bottom, left/centre/right/alternate)
[1] page number offset (default = 1)
[n] font name for title font (0 terminated)
[n] font name for text font (0 terminated)
[n] font name for dynamics font (0 terminated)
ScoreDraw uses the checksum to detect if the score has been reformatted
using Rhapsody. If it has, then ScoreDraw ignores the rest of the data.
In this way, it is possible to keep swapping scores between Rhapsody and
ScoreDraw, with ScoreDraw always following Rhapsody's settings but keeping
to its own if ScoreDraw was the last one to format it. Reformatting a
score with Rhapsody therefore loses the additional ScoreDraw data, as would
be expected.
